The state-chartered agency runs publicly subsidized housing in the city, and serves up to 17,000 New Orleans families. It has been under control of the federal department of Housing and Urban Development, or HUD, for abut 17 years.

A better picture of redevelopment plans for New Orleans' last barracks-style public housing complex will be presented to the public today.
